Psalm 119:145-176
With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord!
I will keep your statutes.
146 I call to you; save me,
that I may observe your testimonies.
147 I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I hope in your words.
148 My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promise.
149 Hear my voice according to your steadfast love;
O Lord, according to your justice give me life.
150 They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;
they are far from your law.
151 But you are near, O Lord,
and all your commandments are true.
152 Long have I known from your testimonies
that you have founded them forever.
The Words of God
give our thoughts
clarity
and remind us
we share this life.
The Word of God calls to our Heart and Soul.
Resh
153 Look on my affliction and deliver me,
for I do not forget your law.
154 Plead my cause and redeem me;
give me life according to your promise!
155 Salvation is far from the wicked,
for they do not seek your statutes.
156 Great is your mercy, O Lord;
give me life according to your rules.
157 Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
but I do not swerve from your testimonies.
158 I look at the faithless with disgust,
because they do not keep your commands.
159 Consider how I love your precepts!
Give me life according to your steadfast love.
160 The sum of your word is truth,
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.
Sin and Shin
161 Princes persecute me without cause,
but my heart stands in awe of your words.
162 I rejoice at your word
like one who finds great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor falsehood,
but I love your law.
164 Seven times a day I praise you
for your righteous rules.
165 Great peace have those who love your law;
nothing can make them stumble.
166 I hope for your salvation, O Lord,
and I do your commandments.
167 My soul keeps your testimonies;
I love them exceedingly.
168 I keep your precepts and testimonies,
for all my ways are before you.
Taw
169 Let my cry come before you, O Lord;
give me understanding according to your word!
170 Let my plea come before you;
deliver me according to your word.
171 My lips will pour forth praise,
for you teach me your statutes.
172 My tongue will sing of your word,
for all your commandments are right.
173 Let your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your precepts.
174 I long for your salvation, O Lord,
and your law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live and praise you,
and let your rules help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,
for I do not forget your commandments.
Psalm 119
is the Hebrew Alphabet
Psalm 119 is the first Alpha Course.
The Basics of the faith are
discussed
and why
the basics of Faith are required to
Be held in Comfort
of Jesus.
We are in the winds of Change.
One profound explanation of this time was given like this:
"I'm fine. My family is going to fine. I really am fine.
I'm adapting well. I'm fine. Why am I tense!
I'm fine, but this and this and this
and this is so sad.
I'm not fine."
Since the Rules of Saint Benedict, 480 A.D., Psalm 119 has been included in Lent and other areas of worship as a key component. The History of Israel explains in few words, but incredible brush strokes making our complexities into the shared life of the Community of Faith, The Body of Christ.
When we read Psalm 119, we understand the depth of Ukraine, the History of Israel, the coping, enduring, Hoping, Overcoming of Life in Jesus. Just as Jesus bravely traveled to Jerusalem, knowing the Plan of Salvation, Jesus would give to you and to me.
We understand why the world has changed colors to Blue and Gold. Ukraine. What we want to help in each other.
What we don't say easily, we have overcome and what we struggle with.
Lent prepares us for the Holiness of Jesus and His Salvation. The Blood He has put into our Salvation.
This preparation, pulls back the Curtain between God and mankind.
The Light of mankind.
And this humanity has gone back to the time of Solomon. The Shofar has a depth, like a Great Horned Owl calling. The echoes of the tones, move inside us. The Psalm is heart-wrenching.
The Shofar calls out! We read God's Word together. God describes what He sees in His People, understanding them. To have His Son walk our hard paths. Showing us His footprints. Soothing us. Strengthening us. Making us Brave in Jesus.

Job 1:21-22
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.”
Psalm 18
35 You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me,
and Your gentleness exalts me.
36You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles
do not give way.
Abba, Father,
With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord!
I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I hope in your words.
My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promise.
Hear my voice according to your steadfast love
They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;
they are far from your law.
151 But you are near, O Lord,
and all your commandments are true.
152 Long have I known from your testimonies
that you have founded them forever.

give me understanding according to your word!
170 Let my plea come before you;

172 My tongue will sing of your word,

The Scriptures are Real.
The Book of Psalms was written about 700 B.C.
The people of God look to His help and long to climb up into Mercy and Justice.
Abraham about 1000 B.C. was called by God as the Father of many nations.
Today, we look to the moral compass of the Structure of Abraham and
find the codex for the groundwork of Laws.
Abraham is the Father of Nations at many levels.
Without Abraham, we wouldn't have gone forth to Moses
and the Commandments.
The desire to have Society go forth in peace, hope, faith and Love tells us we need the framework of Laws. This is the security of families and of peace.
Psalm 119 from 700 B.C. explains this is an ascending Psalm.
One that literally in ceremonies for millenniums tells us to climb up.
Out of the trouble, closer to God, in His Peace and Security.
To know security in all levels of population - simply put - for All of us.
A long, long His Story in His Word.
We long for Your Love and help, Father God, to have Your Kingdom,
Power and Glory upon Your Throne.
The Fringe of Your Robe placed upon all of Your Good Creation.
The Balm of Gilead - Jesus - rubbed just where we hurt.
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts.
We pray more of Your Good Will filling the whole earth with Your Glory.
We will
Remember our answered Prayers.
And live this Day. Looking in expectation
You will strengthen us,
And the ones we Love.
We will Seek You first and find Your Kingdom.
Covering us with the Name and Power of Jesus,
Brave people. Holding up Life for one another.
We are People with the Help of Jesus,
we can make
Redemption
Strength.
Praying the Victory!
And Virus end!
Knowing God is going to bring
us past the storms into
His Plan of desired Haven
in Psalm 107.
Abba, we pray to end all storms for us. Amen.
John 16:27
for the Father Himself [tenderly] loves you, because you have loved Me
and have believed that I came from the Father.
Jesus, God of Encouragement.
Jesus, Hope and Future.
Jesus the Lord
saves the world
Amen.
